These wholesome zucchini oat bars are a wonderful way to use up an abundance of summer zucchini. Naturally moist from the shredded zucchini and lightly sweetened, they're perfect for breakfast, afternoon snacks, hiking adventures, or a nourishing treat with a cup of tea. Buckwheat flour adds a wonderfully hearty flavor and is naturally rich in polyphenols, including rutin, a flavonoid that supports cardiovascular health and the body's antioxidant defense systems. They're naturally gluten-free, egg-free, and nut-free, making them easy to share with family and friends.
